Corps turning "evil" may result when personal ethics meet opportunity. In ordinary life-it's easier to "be good." "Evil" behavior is severely sanctioned-there is transparency in the local family & community-plus few opportunities exist that offer large gains wo much risk. Many Corporations probably start off well-intentioned. If they succeed and grow, the opportunities to cheat expand -then are enabled by Govt intervention, and further by attracting those disposed to greed. A business version of "Power Corrupts and....." Don't most Gangs start off protecting their perceptions of local community interests- then morph into violence, greed & battles for control?

But something is stopping us... Why does every attempt to do the right thing either morph into another head of the evil beast or just fade into insignificance? What is it about being evil that makes corporations so successful? Why can't 'good' corporations succeed? And when I mean succeed, I mean replace the Monsanto/Con-Agra/Pepsi filth that is murdering our mother Earth. _______________________________________________ P2P Foundation - Mailing list http://www.p2pfoundation.net https://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation
